Things I've Seen Other People Doing That I Would Really Like To Do

   
   I occasionally come across other people absorbed in whatever they happen to be doing at the time, whether it's maybe work-related or not, and I find myself thinking   "Hmm...that looks like something I might enjoy!" Generally, this is a pretty wide variety of things and probably not even the types of things that other people might find cool or interesting, but I'm gonna list them for you anyway....

1. Talking through a headset with a microphone
     I always think this looks sorta cool and fun! I'm talking about phone receptionists, air traffic controllers, gamers, big box store employees, police, and those kinds of people. I want to be free to use my hands and still talk to people at the same time. They also kind of look like they're in charge, you know what I mean?

2. Using that electronic inventory gun
     
I want to be the person walking around the store, shooting that little gun at things!

3. Using a hydration vest

      I think it's cool when I see runners and athletes wearing hydration vests---it means they're not just out for a run, they're out for a long run...

4. Wearing a hard hat
      Along with this, you could also include construction boots and a reflective safety vest. Hard hats are cool, I think, because they symbolize pretty well everything that I'm not.

5. Coaching goalies

     I've played a lot of goal over the years and have a pretty analytical mind. I've also had to handle a lot of my own playing "demons", so I have this strong feeling I could help other goalies.

6.
Do a "one man show" 
     Okay, I have no idea what kind of a"one man show" I'm talking about, but I want to walk around on a stage somewhere talking to and interacting with a group of people. I don't want a script or anything, I just want to get up there! And if I could wear a hard hat and a headset at the same time, that would be awesome!

7. Head to the mountains on a writing retreat

     What is it about the mountains?! There's a place in Banff which offers retreats for writers and artists and I kinda lust after that! Now, I've never actually seen anyone doing this, so maybe it shouldn't be part of the list...

8.
Being the "slow" and "stop" traffic signal person
     Okay, kind of a no-brainer here, you get to wear a hard hat, reflective vest and maybe even carry a walkie-talkie---all pretty cool things!

9. Ballet

     Or quite a lot of other types of dance, there's just something about the athleticism of it all which intrigues me. Some of my friends will say, "I knew it all along!"

10.
Someone ending a list at #10 
       I've seen many people end a list at #10 and I think this is awesome!
